Dear Ms. Moses: I have prominent Elliott lineage but it is ould and in my most prominent, Butler lineage: >Cressed St. John, m. John Boteler of Sharnnebrooke, Bedfordshire, >will 1613, had John Boteler, m. Jane Elliott The Rudulph Family, by Idaline Bell Dixon, page 142 and >John Boteler of Little Bursted (Breested), Co. Essex, m. Jane >Elliott, dau. of Edward Elliott of Newlands Hall, Essex . . .. The Rudulph Family, page 126 Their son Thomas Boteler I, "was a partner in the Merchant Adventurers with Col. William Claiborne, the secretary to the Virginia Counsel in the Kent Island project with his brother, John Boteler . . . Thomas came out to Kent Island at John's death and brought his family. When Calvert took over the Island, Thomas died in the course of the struggle, 1646, and eventually his wife and children escaped to Westmoreland Co. Virginia . . .." The Rudulph Family, page 127 Apparently, there was a dispute between Claiborne with Virginia and Calvert/Baltimore with Maryland as to dominion of Kent Island, and Maryland won apparently with Calvert a rascal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_Island,_Maryland http://www.kentislandheritagesociety.org/history.html At 10:19 AM 1/20/2012, you wrote: >Message: 1 >Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2012 09:31:54 -0500 >From: marsha moses <mosesm@earthlink.net> >Subject: [Q-R] Elliott family in Montgomery County, VA >To: Quaker-Roots@rootsweb.com >Message-ID: <5FA9275A-62C1-4709-9B50-69B957C8FBF2@earthlink.net> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > >My Elliott family includes the NC patriarch Jacob Elliott who was >married to Elizabeth unknown.
